Did you ever lie to an interview? Or did you ever add fake stuff to your CV?

No I have not.

however I have caught plenty people when interviewing them.

Some make some basic mistakes or do not realise we do a social media search on them.

saying “going to blag it tomorrow” on a social media account is not a great idea.

[Guardian45]

Hence the reason I DON'T social media.

No, never but I graduated college later in life so if you looked at my resume it makes me seem younger than I actually am.

Thanks for the MHO😎

[BCRanger10]

Nope. It's wrong and they'd have found out one way or another.

[MTC29]

No, it is a foolish thing to do, especially with @chrismaster69 just looking to catch people lying.

[ChrisMaster69]

@MTC29 yep we do, it’s called due diligence.

Would you rather a person qualified and experience worked on the software for an aircraft safety critical system or a person that lied?

Or say a gas engineer who is working on your gas boiler, lied about experience and qualifications?

The guy working on your car, told truth about his experience and qualifications or lied?

We carry out due diligence, for right to work in the UK, that they have the qualifications they say and also experience holds water.

@ChrisMaster69

Regrettably there has still been many occasions where the "none qualified" have slipped through the net.

[ChrisMaster69]

@EmmaMary yep

I know a few that were caught out by chance.

Including medical professionals

[krin_m]

Nope, because you can get caught very easily and then you have bigger problems than not getting a specific job.

[alexsa]

Really? I lied a few times. I told them about some random hobbies

[krin_m]

Well, you may have been lucky, Also if you just lied about your hobbies, it is not as significant as if you lie about your credentials.
Also, it is really impossible to recover from the damage to your reputation if you get caught,

[Luckycharms12]

Yes of course everyone does
